Kind hearted "win" latest motorcyclist to be injured by Thailand's infamous hanging wires

[webfact]

Picture: INN

 

A kind hearted motorcycle taxi guy in northern Bangkok has gone to the Sai Mai police wanting action for negligence against a cable company. 

 

Fifty eight year old Samrong Manothai - better known as Lung Dam - was out feeding dozens of stray dogs in the area of Soi Permsin 66.

 

He didn't see the hanging wires and was thrown from his bike suffering a neck injury and damage to his vehicle. 

 

He has been feeding the strays for 20 years, reported INN, who said this was the latest in a long series of such accidents reported in Thailand in recent weeks.

Whoops there goes another one , while riding you need

to look forward , behind you with the mirrors ,and both

sides, and now you need to be looking ABOVE .....

Aw gawd… another one. 
 

I feel a crack-down coming in the hub of garroted motorcyclists….

 

Its about time the companies whose wires / cables these are give serious fines - this is the only way to ensure they ensure their employees do their work properly & remove old cables before installing new ones. 

 

The route cause of all this - utter laziness.

Just tie a line on them with the other end on your vehicle.  Drive away.  Maybe then they will stop leaving them where you can tie a line on them.

Exactly the article said he was out feeding stray dogs and didn't see the wires. Perhaps next time he will get off his bike, then feed the dogs.

Yes, My thoughts. 

 

Incompetence......... like the 73yo who had an accident recently, dangling wires. 

Nothing to do with his age, I have lots of friends in their 70's who ride better than most younger people but some people shouldn't be riding motorbikes on the road. 

 

 

No accountability..........always looking to blame others.

Are you implying that it's the riders fault when they get garrotted by dangling wires while riding down the road ?

How DARE you reply to my comments. 

 

I got into a discussion on the other thread (73yo, wire down) with you, I replied to all your questions professionally, then you tried playing mind games, you got frustrated with our conversation, calling me a troll, then you reported me, all my comments removed.

 

Go away and annoy some other member. 

BTW: I didn’t report you in another thread, thats just a bit pathetic...

I prefer to let a thread run, have the debate, the disagreement, the objections, the offence the argument... and let it run naturally....      I am genuinely interested in the thought process of those who think so very very differently than I....

 

Its often what makes this forum interesting for me and it would be a boring place if we all agreed with the exact same things....

You have posted a seemingly outrageous and trollish comment which implies that you think it is the victims fault for getting garrotted by a wire hanging over a road.... 

 

 

I’m double-checking that you didn’t mean something else, as it is quite an outlandish and troubling comment if you genuinely believe that when someone rides down a main road (or any road) if they get garrotted by hanging wires its their own fault....  

 

I struggle to accept that anyone actually thinks like this....   but you seem to be proof otherwise.

It was me that reported Safety First on the other thread for trolling. Admin agreed with me and took down his posts. I have reported him again since he is still behaving the same way creating argument and making inflammatory comments and going off topic with personal insult rather than discussing the topic in a rational manner

I cannot believe some of the comments that are blaming the motor bike riders, where is your sense of responsibility. The blame lies with the cable companies and their installers/maintenance people for allowing cables to become death traps. Set up a free legal process so that injured or affected people can sue the cable companies and get sizable compensation and the companies themselves heavily fined. That is the language they understand.

[HappyExpat57]

Just think - if he HADN'T been feeding strays, this wouldn't have happened. Instant karma?

But sadly their comments then get deleted...... 

 

I personally believe it's important to know the extent of the stupidity of some around us. 

Until reading this forum I never knew that some people could be so outrageously dumb, its a learning curve, we should all be aware such utter fools exist so that IF we encounter them in real life we are not so shocked !!.... 

 

That some people believe such incidents are the fault of the motorcyclist themselves is an example of such dumbflookery....   perhaps those in positions responsible for the hanging wires also think the same. 

 

Its good that we know that and are reminded to take additional precautions when out on the roads and also when near other foreigners.... who knows, you could be stood next to an utterly irrational mind numbingly dumb tool....  careful out there, idiots can be dangerous !

My replies were professional, I was not trolling, never have.

 

Its guys like you, the complaining type that get the attention, I reckon admin guys get fed up with you guys reporting members comments, reports about trolls. It's easier for them to remove comments than put up with your complaining. 

 

Why would I get into another discussion with you or richard_smith237, you both called me a troll? I can see the same outcome, I answer all your concerns professionally, I waste hours replying, then I get reported for being a troll and get all my comments removed. 

Then, I have to report a request to admin to have all the nasty comments you guys replied to be removed, it's just wasting everyone's time.

Can you answer, professionally or otherwise, it doesn’t really matter....  Why you think its the fault of the motorcyclist if he gets garrotted by a wire dangling over the road ?????

I see your point the idiocy of such people left for all to see. You can hold your own but some people get sucked into his warped and wierd world as he shuts them down and don't contruibute any more. If reported enough times by many people his account is suspended. I note he has edited his inflamatory comments since I posted that I had reported him again to look more innocent. What he doesnt realise is that Admin have sight of the original plus all edits

I note that you have edited your first inflammatory comment to try to make it look innocent and subsequently make yourself look like the injured party. As a data systems designer and former forensic information manager I can tell you That Admin have sight of your original post and all edits they remain on the database as historical information. The reason they keep all this information is for legal purposes so that they can defend themselves. It is very cheap to store since billions of words take up no more than 1 Gigabyte of storage space on an SQL data system

Here we go again with the mind games. 

You bully boys did the same Saturday and then you reported ME, you know how to work the system. 

 

You're a very strange person. 

 

Please explain, what have I edited? 

 

Are you delusional?

 

If you guys keep this nonsense up the Mods will remove all comments, claiming bickering. 

 

So, please, enough, no more harassing.

Put him in ignore, as all his claims are baseless. It's a forum after all and you always get people who perhaps are disillusioned with life, failed perhaps to achieve their own goals and then pretend to be something or someone they are not on an anonymous forum where, as you know, every laughs at such people.

Is this going about a motor driver and wires?

[richard_smith237]

But why is getting garroted by wires hanging over a road the motorcyclists own fault?

 

it’s a simple question….  
 

At first I thought someone who’s handle is SAFTEY FIRST was being sarcastic or ironic… but it seems he really believes that…. 
 

It’s actually interesting to learn how someone can think so differently… 

… but, he refuses to explain which makes me suspect he’s trolling, But I don’t think he is, he just really believes it’s the motorcyclists fault for failing to see hanging wires…

That's what trump would probably say, to blame everybody but the appropriate perosns/agency.

So another one who thinks being on a bike whislt feeding dogs and hence not paying attention and getting caught up in wires and getting injured is not the fault of the irresponsible rider. Oh well we all have our point of view ????
